🐾 Easter may be over, but some holiday hazards can still be lingering. Don’t be like Pippa and Otis, the curious cocker spaniel siblings… Can you guess who helped themselves to the leftover hot cross buns? Raisins and dogs are a dangerous mix 😟

Thankfully, their owners acted quickly after noticing the buns had been tampered with—Pippa and Otis were rushed to our emergency department, where vomiting was induced immediately to reduce the risk of raisin toxicity.

This is a gentle reminder to keep chocolate, hot cross buns, and other festive treats safely out of reach—our pets’ noses are clever, and even small amounts can be harmful.

🎂🐶 Theo vs. The Fruit Cake
Meet Theo, a 2-year-old Boxer who helped himself to almost an entire fruit cake (which contained raisins). Once his pawrents realized what had happened, they rushed him straight to our Emergency Department at Melbourne Animal Specialist Hospital.

Our team acted quickly and induced vomiting to get all that cake back up—because while it might seem harmless, raisins are toxic to dogs and can cause serious kidney damage if left untreated.

Thanks to fast action and quick care, Theo is doing great and hopefully sticking to dog-friendly snacks from now on! 💛🐾

🛑 If your dog ever eats something they shouldn’t, don’t wait—call your vet ASAP!

🐣🚨 Easter Hazards for Pets! 🚨🐾

Easter is a time for fun, but some holiday treats can be dangerous for our pets! Keep an eye out for these common hazards:

🍫 Chocolate – Toxic to both dogs & cats, even in small amounts!
🥯 Hot Cross Buns – Contain raisins, which can cause kidney failure in pets.
🧸 Small Toys – Can be a choking hazard or cause blockages if swallowed.
🌸 Lilies – Extremely toxic to cats, even a small amount can be fatal!

⚠️ Keep your pets safe this Easter! If you suspect poisoning, contact your vet immediately. 🩺💙
☎️ Call us on 1800 838 787 or pop straight down if you suspect your pet has had access to any of these toxins. We are located at 8 Maroondah Highway, Ringwood 3134.

Zoey, a 3-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, was brought to our emergency team after eating a pair of children's pajama shorts causing a gastric obstruction. Initially, we induced vomiting to see if she could bring up the foreign material, but due to the size and nature of the fabric, vomiting was unsuccessful.

After careful assessment, our team proceeded with an exploratory laparotomy to surgically remove the obstruction. The procedure was successfully performed by our emergency veterinarian, and Zoey recovered exceptionally well. She was closely monitored following surgery and was soon reunited with her family, happy and healthy! Swipe to see the object in question :)

Foreign body ingestion is a common but serious emergency in veterinary medicine. Timely intervention is critical to prevent life-threatening complications such as obstruction, perforation, or peritonitis. 🩺🐶 If your pet ingests a foreign object, seek veterinary attention immediately. Early intervention can make all the difference!

🦴🐶 Cranial Cruciate Ligament Surgery: What You Need to Know! 🐾💙

The cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) is a key structure in your pet’s stifle (knee) joint, providing stability and support. When damaged, it can cause pain and lameness. Surgery helps by removing the torn ligament and any affected meniscus, then stabilizing the joint for better mobility and long-term health.

🏥 Early intervention = Better recovery! 🏥
